1978 century build

[Rus]

I have an unusual build I am doing. It is a 1978 Buick 4 door with the 231 v-6. I am putting a new frame under it and a Buick 455, 200-4r and 3.89 9 inch rear.

So far I have gotten a new frame that I am doing so reinforcing to. I have a rebuilt 1972 Buick 455, runs sweet. I have a rebuilt 200-4r and new radiator with e fans.

Western Pa or WVa?

Catching up today. I separated the body from the frame today. Actually easier than I thought. This week should get the new 9 inch rear, box in the frame, get my rebuilt Qjet back with 2004r throttle blade shaft installed and start assembly.

That build makes me smile my cousin put a Buick 455 in an 81 Regal when we were kids and it was awesome!

Almost a shame to take such a nice car a part, but I love what you are doing! The car is going to be awesome. I would keep stockish wheels on it.

Wide steel wheels with wire wheel hub caps I did it to my 83 cutlass years ago looked like an old lady car perfect sleeper
